    Just adding to what has been said:

    No, women with unusually large clitorises are NOT hermaphrodites.

    However, I disagree with the original answer stating that there 'are no human hermaphrodites'. A medically documented Human Hermaphrodite is one that has obvious indication of both male and female genitalia, but neither of the genitals can function as a reproductive organ. Examples of human hermaphrodites are:

    females who have testicles (many times they are undescended in the body and remain there throughout their entire lives).

    Men with vagina, but no penis.

    Women with Penis growing out of a vagina (usually at the top, where the clitoris would normally be)

    Men with penis growing out of a vagina (usually the top, where the clitoris would be on the vagina)

    Men with ovaries (usually connected through an unnatural and unusual series of growth inside the body to the penis)

    Men without testicles (may be indication of ovarian growth elsewhere in the pelvic region)

    and many more.


    While they are not 'true' hermaphrodites in the sense that they cannot reproduce, they are classifed as hermaphrodites, and thus they do exist. There are many questions about this on this website already...do some researching for some helpful answers.
